The Principality of Nioya is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Jaden with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 21.172 billion Nioyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Musica. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nioyan economy, worth a remarkable 3,241 trillion Denaris a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 153,114 Denaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of Nioya are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nioya's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Episcopal Church of Nioya.

Nioya is ranked 2,987^th in the world and 8^th in Scandinavia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 130.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
